Last day in Windermere for this go round.  We squeezed in one more golf game this morning.  Broke a 100 again today!  Yahoo!!!  Changed up the groupings with Dad getting the girls (Lindsey and I) and Bill and Geoff together.  We went ahead of the guys which was probably a mistake.  There must have been four times a ball dropped within feet of us.....guess who?  Geoff!  He was good enough not to hit us but if he had been a stranger we may have done something obnoxious with his ball.  I have learned some pretty good tricks from other golfers over the years as to what you do when you have an aggressive golfer behind you.  The funniest one was probably the guy who drove his cart over the guys ball several times until it looked like an egg in the turf!  Once I played with a woman who promptly turned and hit the ball back at the player behind us.  I think he definitely got the hint.  Then there was one who hit the guys ball into the Columbia River!  In any case we were tolerant of Geoff’s near misses but next time we will put him in front of us and let Lindsey hit!  She absolutely crushes the ball on her drives so she could probably give him a taste of his own medicine!

We had such a nice break up there!  Windermere has always been a place where I can recharge.  We are home for a bit but will be back out there in August.  Bill is going to play in the Alberta Police Golf tournament in August and I will just go out and stay with Dad. Kelli is working in Invermere all summer so it is a great opportunity for us to spend some time together!  She is actually taking up golf!  Now that is something I never thought I would see!  If we could put her and Lindsey in a bag and shake it up we would get an awesome golfer.  Lindsey has the drive mastered!  Kelli’s short game is pretty awesome!  All they need is to learn to putt!

Tomorrow a busy day.  Hydration and blood work in the morning.  Then I want to have coffee with Jenifer!  Haven’t seen her in a bit and she is heading off to Shuswap tomorrow!  Most summers we get out there to spend some time with them but it doesn’t look like it’s going to work this year. After that it will be the usual errands that need to be done after being absent for a couple of weeks.....groceries, laundry....all that fun stuff we love to not do when on vacation!
